Malevolent part 52

It’s Arthur’s birthday, what could go wrong?

Tried to do some lighting and shading :)

[ID:

A drawing of Arthur and John, with a birthday cake on a table in front of them. Arthur is leaning away from the table, startled, with his arm raised to shield his face. He has short auburn hair, yellowish eyes, and a small moustache. He wears a white shirt, brown suspenders and medium brown pants. There is a scar on the corner of his right eye, and his left hand’s pinkie is partially missing, leaving a dark, stick-like protrusion in its place.

John is behind him, and also leaning back, shocked. He is shrouded in a yellow cloak, with yellow eyes and grey sheep horns protruding from his hood.

In front of them, a cake sits of a plate, with a column of fire shooting from the three birthday cake candles. The cake is pale pink.

Who would win?

Literal gods and creatures from other worlds

or

One (1) blind man and his personal narrator he has an on off relationship with?

got out-horror’d today by a friend because he said what if Malevolent ends with Kayne putting John in Faroe’s dead body

i truly think we've survived the darkest parts of arthur and john's tumultuous relationship. i think the cycle of tearing each other apart and making up is finally over.

the way they interacted all through season 5, and just their overall dynamic, plus with yorick in the mix - it seems so much more mature, yk? they're actually communicating, they're not blowing up at each other every time they get angry. they haven't verbally flayed each other alive even ONCE. and even when they did argue, it never felt quite so mean-spirited as in the past.

it really feels like they've grown, and honestly? i'm glad! the divorce/remarriage thing could only go on for so long before it started to get old, and i'm glad they seem to have settled into a new normal!

and of course a massive aromantic win in this episode as ALWAYS. malevolent serving The aromantic podcast I love her so much
